    Thanks so much for documenting these camp sites and journeys. My parents took me to a lot of the places you go through out the south west, especially the Sierras.

      That's awesome! So glad we can bring these places back to you. 😄

    Beautiful ride Glenn. Love the drone views too. Very spectacular. Sorry for the video problems but still a very enjoyable trip. Thanks to you both, Glenn and Amy. See ya next week for more adventures.

      Thank you! I'm pretty happy that we were able to salvage what was filmed for those two videos. 😄

    I think you have been working too hard so it is not surprising you got so frustrated. Feel for you. I have nearly thrown my tablet on the floor in frustration. I’m sure most of us have done that. But, so glad that you didn’t give up. Your videos are awesome and I like seeing the process involved in making your videos. Keep up the good work.

    • @CactusAtlas

      Thanks so very much. It's hard when time and money and effort feel wasted when technology goes crazy. But that's pretty universal. 😅

    Thank you for this episode. Very scenic terrain. Never would have seen it otherwise.

    What a great video! I live in California. The High Sierra's has been my home away from home for many summer vacations and even a couple of winter trips. In the 70's to mid 80's I did a lot of backpacking. Back in a time when there were few people on the trails. My backpacking days are over but I own a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. This road looks easily doable for me. And with some campgrounds, I might add this to my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.

    • @CactusAtlas

      Any time! It's an amazing area to camp. Hope that you have a good time if you make it out. 😄👍

    1000 bonus points for all the work put in to making this video for all to see. I felt like I was in the passenger seat - great job. 👏 Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. One request though - if possible. Next time you’re in dark skies can you maybe capture a view of the night skies - can only imagine the amount of stars ✨ you must have seen. As for the silent footage, sorry about that - but I’m certain you and Amy will come up with some sort of short film captions or bloopers. As for the rattling key comment - didn’t bother me - part of the experience of the terrain. May I suggest try tying a sock around the bulk of the keys - maybe that can help lower or muffle? Thanks again for all that you do and for all the places you take us all to from the comfort of our couches or reclining chairs.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh, for sure! Getting a time lapse of the night skies is something that we've been wanting to do forever but something always seems to go awry. Might have a solution for the keys to help. We shall see how it works out. Always happy to hear from you! 😊

    The alpine meadow was absolutely beautiful! And that fast driving sequence was great as well, but i know i would be pretty uncomfortable with the dropoffs, given the narrowness of the road, no room for error!!! So Glenn i'm glad you and Slim were driving and not me!!! 😮😮😮

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      😂 Part of why we do what we do I suppose. 😄

    Hey Glenn, Starlink should be pointed North at a 45 degree angle and you should pickup a satellite pretty easily. Hope this helps, mine works great if I can get a semi-unobstructed north view. Last campground I had ti screwed up and pointed west and it still worked, I got all twisted around :-). Hope this helps buddy! ~much love ❤

    • @CactusAtlas

      Appreciate the tip! Thank you so very much! 😄👍

    Evacuating quickly from a wildfire on that narrow road would be an absolute nightmare. If you go up there, do it early in the summer before you have to worry about it. Nice meadow.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not a place I'd want to be in a fire for sure. 😬

    Another nice video. Is Slim a 4x4? If he is, is a 4x4 required for the majority of your adventures?

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Slim indeed is. There's plenty of places we've gone that don't need 4WD. We try to mention if we used it or not when filming. 👍 I'm not sure if Glenn used it on this particular trip, unfortunately.

    Are your tracks and way points available to download as a GPX file?

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not at this time, but it's something we're giving thought to. 👍

  • @tiffanybooth4021

    I enjoy watching your videos. I'm thankful for your adventures.But one thing that distracts me is your keys jingling.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We have heard that before. 😔 Gotta find a solution for quick removal of the other keys. Sadly the truck isn't remote start.

    That area Mono Hot Springs, may be pronounced as " maw-no " ? Not sure Glenn.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not sure either. Just making an assumption it's moh-no given it's location and proximity to Mono County, Mono Lake, etc. Never know though!

  • @smoketrees2246

    Can you set up and just show the scenery now?

    Isn't it illegal to fly drones in a National Park?

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It is. We were not in a national park.

  • @bloodyeyeful
    @bloodyeyeful 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Was the ignorant mid-road driver in a Subaru? Bet he was. You want a white knuckle road to a CA campground? Mono Hot Springs in my truck camper.
    There are "almost" hot spring pools across the creek on the hill. Good fishing too.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh gosh, didn't quite catch what the vehicle was. Not sure either of us would be comfortable driving in anything bigger than our truck. I can't even imagine it w/ a camper. 😵‍💫

    • @bloodyeyeful
      @bloodyeyeful 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@CactusAtlas Lol. I pick on Subaru drivers. Next time you're behind someone going too slow and won't pull over for you, check out the make of the vehicle.

  • @erichamilton7597
    @erichamilton7597 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If he would only stop taking it would be much bettet. I used to be on trail crew where we went up past the end of the road and cleared trails as needed. I don't know how many times I drove this road and he has left a bunch of stuff.

    Don’t care about the procedures that you have to go through to make the videos, just want to see the scenery. We stopped watching because of all the griping, sorry .

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Sounds like you did the right thing by stopping to watch.
